Between 1965 and 1968, The
Mirage released a mere eight singles, one of which they put out under the name
Yellow Pages, and no LPs. The Hertfordshire quintet still left behind a pretty
terrific legacy. Yes, their first two singles for CBS —a cover of Betty
Everett’s “Shoop Shoop Song (It’s In His Kiss)” and a second rate Graham Nash
composition called “Go Away”—were weak. Yes, the two singles they released
under their own name and duress on the Page One label were downright lousy
(their A-side as Yellow Pages, “Here Comes Jane”, is pretty good). But none of
that matters on Guerssen Records’ You
Can’t Be Serious: 1966-1968, because this compilation only collects the
sides The Mirage recorded for Philips.
